1º/The downdrafts of the two convection cells coincide. The lithosphere sinks for partially melting. Converging, one plate slides under the other.
2º/The updrafts of the two convection cells coincide. Plates move apart on both sides of mid-ocean ridges.
3º/The two tectonic plates slide sideways. The friction of the plates generates very high pressures that can fracture the rigid rocks of the lithosphere.

There is a total of 3 different types:

The oceanic plates: Formed entirely by oceanic crust and totally submerged.


The continental plates. Formed by continental crust and fully emerged.

The mixed plates. They contain parts of continental crust and parts of oceanic crust.

 The convection current is when the hotter material rises and the colder material sinks. This is what causes the movement of the tectonic plates that float on the surface

The lithosphere is divided into fragments called lithospheric or tectonic plates, which fit together almost perfectly like a puzzle.                                        At the edges or limits of these plates, phenomena associated with volcanism and seismicity take place.                                                                                 The oceanic lithosphere is created at mid-ocean ridges and destroyed at trenches.          Lithospheric plates move and interact with each other.

He said they sailed like ships
